Phantom Mindreader by Robert A. Nelson & B. W. McCarron

The ultimate tool for mentalists! Nelson’s Phantom Mindreader offers an impeccable, invisible method to instantly gain complete insight into written inquiries. The spectator pens a question, seals it in a regular envelope, and keeps it. Remarkably, the mentalist never touches the writing or the sealed envelope, yet acquires all the information in an instant.

This ingenious device operates without being detected by the audience, delivering the information to the mentalist in a seamless and natural way.

Key features include: no carbon papers, no switching, no center tears, no handling of the spectator’s question, no suspicious movements, no delays, no electronics, no stooges, and no assistants—it’s truly a solo performance!

Perfect for street performances, clubs, parties, or any gathering where you might be challenged to “Read my mind!”

This product also includes a behind-the-scenes look at a Phantom device from the 1960s, complete with color photographs, construction plans, and sourcing information. Additionally, it features original content from Nelson, including suggested presentation scripts.
